So an #IMS program to program message switch ends up as a tweet. Hmmmm .... or do we do it with IMS connect & SOAP in #ims

http://twitpic.com/l0x1 - A Sony multi-burst picture, hacked with PaintShopPro, converted to anim gif with #ImageMagick in #imagemagick

Bu99er, I'm stupidly watching Fiona Bruce on #BBC1 and didn't notice that #CiN #QI was scheduled to clash with the news on #BBC2 in #qi #bbc1 #cin #bbc2

Hmmm, wondering where @martinpacker is when I need to talk to him about a #PMR. Oh well it'll wait until Monday. in #pmr

@MichaelDag #SDSF is not a programming language, it's not a performance monitor either. Real men use basic assembler language (#BAL). in #bal #sdsf

@MichaelDag if you're writing #REXX you're only a short hop away from writing the same stuff in #PL/I in #rexx #pl/i

@martinpacker @MichaelDag one use of the #REXX compiler is to obfuscate code and force it to use the REXX altlib for runtime. in #rexx

Question of the day: Why did #CUA ever imagine that command line at the bottom was a good design and why did #ISPF implement their design? in #ispf #cua

@martinpacker I remember using #SPF (b4 the I arrived) on a 3277 (with no function keys). There was nothing but the command on line three. in #spf

@MichaelDag I looked at #EXEC2 (part of #MVS NCCF) once and decided it was the worst language in history. in #exec2 #mvs

@martinpacker I find PGM=ASMDASM to be better than the one instr at a time disassem in #IPCS (unless they've extended that). in #ipcs

@martinpacker It depends what prog interrupt caused your application to abend. #RTM2WA is a good sign-post in #rtm2wa

To rebind everything or just to rebind package/plan at a time after #DB2 V7 to V8 upgrade, that is the question. in #db2

@rodet Pah! WDNNS point and click on #z/OS what's wrong with green words on a black background in UPPERCASE only (as on #D/T3277) in #z/os #d/t3277

I've been making my brain ache. #IMS-L produced an interesting question about finding 3270 code page in #IMS. IMS normally doesn't care. in #ims #ims-l

I found a #DB2LUW way to pick the password for #DTMail/#Voicerite --- select int(RAND() * 100000000) from syscat.tables; in #db2luw #dtmail

just got a snail mail from #IBM pension fund. What is it about pension funds that makes them generate meaningless words on lots of paper? in #ibm

New acronym RTFMOTUIC (read the fine manual or the ugly info center). Why do I hate #IBM's newest documentation delivery system so much? in #ibm

I'm heading to Hursley, Gallileo classroom 3 for #IMS QPP customer education 2nd thru 4th. Will be on my bike if temp>zero C. in #ims

Had an interesting discussion with my #CICS colleague about when a CICS #DB2 workload might be eligible to run on a #zIIP or #zAAP engine in #db2 #cics #ziip #zaap

@ebennerdotcom Send #DB2 comments by email to db2info@us.ibm.com quote chapter, verse and topic or online at http://is.gd/aOgN in #db2

Come on #BBC http://tinyurl.com/5po3rr doesn't work in Internet Explorer either. in #bbc

Should I be a 100% #Geek and follow @redjets, @andy_house, @pothos , @towerbridge and @sotondocks in #geek

Nice to see lots of detail in the #BBC's story about the latest #MSIE flaw @ruskin147 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7784908.stm in #bbc #msie

@shortyawards I nominate @ruskin147 for a Shorty Award in #tech because... he's the only tech writer to twitter about his dog in #tech

@MichaelDag Arrgh, horrid #ISPF, it doesn't work that way I want it to. You'll need to write a complete program using LMxxxx services. in #ispf

#currentcost meter being shown on #BBC ONE show. (To monitor some loonies with a billion Xmas lights.) in #bbc #currentcost

Listening to #BBC Radio Tees - Brigid Press and my friend Harry Blackwood's show http://tinyurl.com/78p6rn in #bbc

@meraltemel best way to do maintenance for #DB2, #IMS, #CICS, #MQ, #WAS is with a RSU. 0811 was recently released. in #db2 #was #cics #ims #mq

I'm trying to encourage Steve Swift to join twitter, he could add some interesting #REXX'ness on here. in #rexx
